If you are thinking of the DEM kits - I build them on order.
1296 transceiver is not available from DEM while they re-design it.
http://www.kl7uw.com/kits.htm
I have DEM transverters for 144, 222, 432, and 1296 in use with my K3/10.
Contact me off the list if you need some set up help.
Gary,
What you are envisioning is a perfect example of an idea that can
become a new niche product. If Elecraft chooses to not develop the
concept, there is no reason that it cannot be done by someone else.
For example: fabricating a cage for docking several transverter
boards. I'm
Just wondering if crossband is possible without significant hardware changes
for those who have transverters or a second receiver.

The K2 and K3 have near perfect equal key ON/OFF delays. Therefore, the
K3 and K2 will not normally need external keyer delay compensation.
The KX3 (measured with MCU 1.50 / DSP 1.21) has about 8 ms key ON to OFF
delay. The delay is for both the internal and external keyers. (Breakin

Will the KX3 features:

Could you describe what you are seeing - or, perhaps send a picture? I
had problems early on with my P3 and it was just a lousy patch cable

How many of you have an Elecraft DL1? It's an amazing piece of test
equipment for only $26 when coupled to an accurate DVM.
The DL1 is a simple 50 ohm dummy load with a peak detector diode. The
load on the diode is the input impedance of the voltmeter, normally
10 Meg Ohm, which results with a

I am reluctance to reply on here as the reflector seems full of trash
these days. But yes, John, I wholeheartedly agree with you; the DL1 is
excellent and well worth buying at that price. Rated at 20W it is ideal
for setting up the K1, K2, KX1, KX3 and K3/10.

Hello Hisashi,
It looks like you have a very high noise level, or, you never ran the
level calibration for the P3. Other than a few blips on the right half of
the screen, I don't see any signals, so I wouldn't expect to see much of
anything in the waterfall either.
That said, you can put the

Hi Julie,
On 2) you can do it, but you have to be careful. Any of the system

First of all, I assume you are trying to use the KX3 with a soundcard
application like FLDIGI with the KX3 in Data A mode??? Operating in the KX3

it.

Many laptops have stereo line in and mono mic in.
I think even my old Pentium 4 Dell laptop had stereo line in.
PSK31 should be quite easy. Re-read the digital section of the manual and you
should be able to get it going.
ALSO note that many button presses or menu items are mode specific.
Can someone point me to the location or send me a cabling diagram for
connection all three devices.
I need to make sure I have or order all of the required cables and Y's to
have full operability of the system.

Figure 1 on page 5 of the KAT500 owner's manual (I'm looking at revision C).
If you have other things to connect to the AUX connector you may need a Y.
For the basic K3, KAT500, and KPA500 you don't need any Ys, you just need
two of the 15-pin accessory cables.

If you are using a laptop, the internal sound card typically has only a

With a mic level input, the KX3 (or K3) will overdrive the mic input
